Can I fly FPV alone, without an observer?

No Lithuanian rule was found: the European framework requires direct line of sight or an observer.

Does Glydar display Lithuania’s zones?

No. Glydar’s map does not display Lithuania’s regulations — see the coverage. The LTSA is to be checked before flying.

What is the risk in case of an offence?

Fines of €100 to €1,500 under the Code of Administrative Offences, with possible confiscation of the drone. See the Penalties section.

Is there a specific category? Why does this guide not cover it?

Yes: operations that fall outside the open category come under the specific category. Glydar does not cover it: it is aimed at pilots who fly mostly for recreation, therefore in the open category, and a short, checked guide is better than an approximate one on a more complex regime. The official guide is the LTSA’s: the specific category.

Is this guide enough to fly legally?

No: it simplifies the open category and refers to the texts. Responsibility for checking is yours — see the Responsibility section.

Flying a drone in Lithuania: the regulations guide (open category)

1 · The open category

This guide is the most limited of the series: the pages of the Lithuanian authority (LTSA) cannot be read automatically (protected site), so only the legal texts are cited. The European regulation applies in Lithuania; see the European framework. Minimum age, FPV and night rules, national height and distances: not stated in the sources consulted; the LTSA is to be checked before flying.

2 · Zones: set by the LTSA

According to the Aviation Act (art. 18), the LTSA may prohibit or restrict flights above the territories of enterprises important for national security and within 1 km of their boundaries in towns or 3 km in rural areas; these zones may cover bird reserves, parks, schools, healthcare establishments and embassies. Military zones (up to a radius of 2 km set by the Chief of Defence) and the border zone come under other authorities. Drone flights take place in the geographical zones set by the LTSA, under the conditions of the European regulation (art. 35).

The map of prohibited zones is maintained by the LTSA; it cannot be consulted automatically.

⚠️ Glydar’s map does not display Lithuania’s regulations: the LTSA’s prohibited zones map prevails, to be checked before every flight — see the coverage, country by country.

3 · Registration, exam and insurance

Registration (price, duration), exams, drone insurance: not found, for lack of access to the authority’s pages. For insurance, the Aviation Act (art. 51) refers to Regulation (EC) 785/2004 without naming drones or giving an amount.

4 · FPV and night flying

No Lithuanian rule on FPV or night flying is stated in the sources consulted: the European framework applies — FPV requires an observer, and night flying a flashing green light.

5 · Before every flight

Check the LTSA: geographical zones, map of prohibited zones.
Registration and certificate according to the European regulation.
Do not fly above military sites, the border zone or sensitive installations.

This guide simplifies — it replaces neither the official texts nor an up-to-date check. When in doubt: the LTSA (Transport Safety Administration).

6 · Penalties: what the law says

The Code of Administrative Offences (art. 393, consolidated text of 1 October 2026) provides, with no distinction between individuals and legal entities for these paragraphs:

Breach of the operating rules of regulation 2019/947: from €500 to €1,000 (€1,000 to €1,500 for a repeat offence).
Flying above military zones, or in a prohibited, restricted or border zone without right: from €400 to €800 (€800 to €1,200 for a repeat offence).
Breach of the conditions of a geographical zone: from €400 to €800 (€800 to €1,200 for a repeat offence).
Breach of the registration rules: from €100 to €300 (€300 to €800 for a repeat offence).
The drone and its remote controller may be confiscated; confiscation is mandatory for certain repeat offences.

The text of the law prevails, not this page; the authority’s pages are not cited.

7 · Your responsibility, and what Glydar does

Glydar informs; it exempts from nothing. This guide draws on official sources but is not itself an official source, does not guarantee that they are exhaustive or up to date, and does not constitute authorisation to fly.

The remote pilot remains solely responsible for the flight and for compliance, as the terms of use recall. Everything needed to check is within reach: the coverage, country by country, the official map and the texts cited below.
